Smart Scheduler

WORK IN PROGRESS, close to a stable release, please help me and report any issue

This node is part of a suite of nodes to control heating:

• smart-scheduler: visual &multi schedule management,
• smart-valve: manage valve in a same room in a group and enable auto-recalibration and as well on device override,
• smart-boiler: enable to pilote the boiler with the most relevant temperature according to the valves in the house.

This node have been more than inspired by the excellent work of node-red-contrib-light-scheduler.

It enables to define heating zones with temperature setPoint. It support multiple schedules and exposes realtime information to home assistant (via MQTT).

Default setpoint feature and multiple execution mode are as well supported.

The Smartscheduler is interfaced with Home assistant and use MQTT to advertise and send update.

Key features:

• Interface with Home Assistant (adversise, and update),
• Heating zone definition with color,
• Multiple schedule management, activable directly from home assistant
• Visual weekly calendar, copy daily schedule from 1 day to another
• Manual Override mode with duration,
• On / Off / Auto / Override execution mode
• Different output modes (state-change, state-change+startup, every minute)
• External manual trigger
• Default setPoint when there is no event

Details

Input

The input is used to changed to the current execution mode between:

• Off: smart-scheduler is not active (no output)
• Auto: smart-scheduler is following the active schedule
• override: smart-scheduler is in force mode with a defined setpoint for a defined periode of time

Input can be node-red input and MQTT directly from home assistant (see Home Assistant section)

Input payload

The following example give the message expected in input:

msg:{
    payload:{
        command:"override",             // set the execution mode
        setpoint:25                 // set the new setpoint
    }
}

Outputs

This node has 1 output to send update to smart-valve,

the tipical msg output is :

msg.payload={
    "setpoint":20,                          // target temperature of the valve based on the schedule                     
    "previous_setpoint":0,                  // previous target temperature
    "setname":"Confort",                    // name of the heating zone
    "short_start":"17:00",                  // schedule event start time
    "short_end":"20:00",                    // schedule event end time
    "start":"2018-01-05 17:00:00",          // start iso timestamp
    "end":"2018-01-05 20:00:00",            // end iso timestamp
    "manualtrigger":false,                  // is this the result of a manual trigger
    "triggermode":"triggerMode.statechange.startup",
    "active_ruleidx":3,                      // rule id
    "prev_ruleidx":0,                        // prev rule id
    "executionmode":"auto",                  // execution mode |auto|manual|off
    "hasSpchanged":true                      // has the setpoint changed from the previous cycle
}

Configuration setting

List of settings:

Interface with Home Assistant

The smart-scheduler is inteface with home assistant and entities and should be discovered as new device automatically.

The name of the device in Home Assistant is the name of the node in the setting.
